The lyx.spec file in the devel subdirectory is not up to date.
The version number in the .spec file should be the correct lyx version.
That way one could simply build a binary rpm with
rpm -tb lyx-*.tar.gz
Is it possible to update the version number from the configure script?
Also, I have updated the .spec file with the following changes:
1) removed non-existent files from %doc section
2) made the install prefix customisable. [I like to install rpms in /usr
not /usr/local, whioch was hard-coded in the .spec file]
I attach my .spec file.
